IB Exam Results Release Date for 2024
In just over a month, the 2024 International Baccalaureate (IB) exam results will be released on July 5th, bringing both excitement and anxiety for students worldwide who have been preparing for over a year. If your results are not what you expected, it's essential to remember that there are alternative paths and institutions to explore.
To access your results, students should check their email for a notification. Upon receiving the results, you can log in to the official IB results page to view and download your scores. A candidate code and personal identification number (PIN) are required to log in.
If you find yourself in a position where you didn't pass a subject or are not satisfied with your overall results, retaking the exam could be an option. The process for retaking an IB exam generally involves registering again for the exam in the next available session, which for IB exams occurs in either May or November of the subsequent year(s).
Students who wish to retake exams do so by re-registering through their IB World School or the authorized IB examination centre during the registration periods for the next exam cycle. The exact registration deadlines and procedures are managed locally by the IB school and must meet IB regulations.
The IB offers two examination sessions per year: the May session (most common for retakes) and the November session (available in select regions and subjects). After receiving the April/May 2024 results, students can opt to retake one or more exams in the November 2024 session if available, or the May 2025 session.
Key points about retaking IB exams based on the 2025 and 2026 exam schedules and IB policies include:
- Students must register through their school for the retake exam session. The school submits the registration to IB centrally.
- The IB generally does not allow exam rescheduling except under exceptional circumstances, and any reschedule requests require IB approval.
- Exam schedules are released well in advance each year (e.g., the May 2026 exam schedule is fixed to minimize conflicts and manage exam load).
- There is no formal "retake" exam policy directly on the IB website disclaiming any restrictions; students simply register again and sit the exam for the session in which it is offered.
- If students want to sit an exam not available in the upcoming session (such as some languages or regional subjects only offered May or November), they must wait for the next session it is offered.
- Schools typically inform students when and how to register for retakes after results are released.
While the precise procedural details (exact registration dates, fees, deadlines) are handled locally by IB World Schools, the universal IB process for retaking exams is to register anew for the next IB examination session available after the 2024 results.
If you are considering retaking an exam, it's essential to discuss your options and the retake process with your IB Coordinator. Seek support from teachers, family, or counselors if you need guidance or emotional support regarding your results. Use your previous exam experience to focus on areas that need improvement during preparation for retakes.
Remember, one set of results doesn't define your future. It's natural to feel anxious about IB exam results, but keep in mind that there are opportunities for improvement and growth. Good luck with your IB exam results in 2024, and RevisionDojo extends its best wishes for handling your results with resilience and determination.
